Playstation 3 Hardware \ Few questions from a new PS3 owner

Kudos: 6,247

Mates: 76

Just wondering if anyone can help me with a few definate answers to a few questions.

Can I buy any bluetooth headset to use for chat with the PS3 ?

Can you use any brand of Cordless Keyboard for use on Internet Browser within the PS3 ? Also will a cordless usb mouse work on the PS3 ?

Lastly can I use any USB Steering Wheel with the PS3 ? I have a Momo Racing Force Feedback Wheel which I currently use on my PC & would like to use that if I can.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

1. From my knowledge, most bluetooth headsets work with the PS3.
2. As long as it's USB based, it should work. If it needs a disc to install drivers or something then I don't think it'll work, but those are only for old-school keyboards.
3. What was the USB wheel originally for? If it was for PS2, chances are it will work for PS3. If it was just for PC, I dunno.

Hope this helps.

Enjoy your PS3, too. Oh, and don't forget to check out the MyPS3 Folding@Home team thread.

Hey man, Here are your answers:

1. Yes pretty much any bluetooth headset will work

2. ^ Same goes for the keyboards and mice

3. No you cant use the steering wheel, i've tried it myself as i used to have one. The reason why is because the firmware within the steering wheel will only work for computers.

Hope that helps! P.S. AWESOME avatar haha

Wireless USB keyboards should all work fine. If theres shortcuts/ special keys on it that require driver install, they just wont work while the rest of the kb will do fine.
I've tried it on my Microsoft wireless KB and mouse.
